Board rejects County Road 33 bids, approves reopening procurement
Summary
The commissioners declared the County Road 33 EWP bids either incomplete or too high, approved a motion to fail (no-bid) the current bids, and then voted to reopen the solicitation for new bids.
The Rio Blanco County Board of County Commissioners found the bids received for the County Road 33 private-property Emergency Watershed Protection (EWP) project to be incomplete or significantly over the estimated cost. The board approved a motion to 'no-bid' (reject) the current bids and then approved a separate motion to reopen the procurement to solicit new bids.
During discussion a staff member explained that one bid arrived late, others were incomplete, and one was 'way high.' The board considered a two-step motion (fail the original bid, then reopen). Commissioners agreed that rejecting the current submissions and reissuing the solicitation was the appropriate path to seek competitive, complete proposals.
